Retailers are no longer just retailers: they're technology platforms, they're advertising networks, they're fulfillment centers, the list goes on. Every few months a new challenge appears, and retail brands are forced to evolve their strategies. At the Modern Retail Commerce Summit, the best and most innovative minds in the space will dive into this. The event will look at ways online companies are expanding into brick-and-mortar, as well as how traditional retail is figuring out digital. It will look at the e-commerce tech stacks the most forward-thinking companies are leveraging, and talk with brands that have upended their marketing strategies due to large ecosystem and consumption shifts. In short, the Summit will look at all the ways technology is driving the retail industry forward and go deep into new commerce strategies.
Prices will increase after February 27.
